PRAGUE – Czech voters head to the polls on 3–4 October, with former prime minister Andrej Babiš’s populist ANO party leading in the polls.
Yet the path to forming a government remains uncertain, as several smaller parties hover close to the 5% threshold needed to enter parliament.
Support for ANO has remained steady at around 30%, leaving Babiš comfortably ahead of rivals.
Right now I am not interested in any other parties,” Babiš told Deník N when asked about a possible deal – though most analysts expect Motorists to be his first choice.
would pose similar challenges, though both parties could, in theory, shelve their referendum demands to open the door to negotiations.
